Actually it was just a tip, that your mention of /opt prompted me to remember: It gets /opt off the root filesystem (assuming one has either a /usr or a /usr/local one). Which is, IMVAO, A Good Thing -- and, also, in my view, puts /opt contents into a bin having pretty much the same purpose rationale. > FWIW, by default Ubuntu does not use tmpfs for /tmp, and I would not > want it to. I've rather warmed to it, myself. Seems to hit the sweet spot on disk allocation and intelligent use of swap, and on /tmp performance, more often than not. The main thing, in my experience, is that you have to be OK with /tmp no longer being persistent over restarts -- which is an individual thing. In any event, it seemed, like the /opt tip (and like Karsten Self's views and reasons for partitioning recommendations) worth posting to the thread for collective knowledge purposes. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
